The oil company Shell has decided to decommission one of the Noble Corporation drillships that operate for the company in the Gulf of Mexico.
Noble reported in its fleet status report on Tuesday that Shell had exercised the contractual right to suspend the noble-tayer ship, built in 2013, for the rest of its contract, or 183 days ending February 25, 2019. The drilling ship has been working for Shell in the Gulf of Mexico since August 2013. During the idle period, the probes will receive a daily revenue of US $ 420 , said Noble.
The driller also said Shell can redeploy the rig at any time within the remaining contract period, and the company is free to secure immediate contract opportunities.
